The wind that arrived yesterday morning has held up all day and I am pleased to report a new 24 hour record for Newtsville - 169n/m (170 must be breakable!). We passed the 1,000 mile to go mark just after tea (Mahe Mahe fillets pan fried in ginger and soy sauce with baby potatoes sautéed in butter and herbs with sweetcorn!). The only problem of the trip was also encountered just after tea - the wire bridle which attaches to the pole and to the pole uphaul on the mast frayed badly at one end and was in danger of breaking. Luckily we have a spare so this was replaced after 15 mins dancing on the foredeck in the big swell whilst the boat carried on at 7.5 knots! In the night we had an adventurous flying fish which made it through the open galley window and landed at the foot of the companion way!
24 Hour Run: 169 n/m
Total Distance Run: 2,176 n/m
Distance to Run: 931 n/m
